Here’s pics of the plates and them on the bar. On the tree I have four could possibly fit 5. The old plates only 3 and no more. Took screenshots of squats and sumo with equivalent weight for comparison purposes.

Felt froggish. Decided to deadlift. Got the 585 and felt good. Said let’s go for a PR. Bar got a little in front, got it up to hips but couldn’t finish lock out. Glutes were all like “nah nah we cool” so dropped it.

Did conventionals to clean up form. I’ll go back to Rubish rows. But since I’m going to do some 1RM testing on the 20/21 wanna dial in my form. Going to give 615 another crack then.

Next week I’m gonna taper a little bit. I’ll do my normal raw volume days but dynamic will be short.

Wanna hit PR’s so gonna aim for 585/385/615. Will gauge how it all feels and make any adjustments to training. Wanna hit a streak going into gear so i can have a good meet but have something good going into raw meet.

Brutal. I sat the shirt all the way (thumbs out) and getting 425 to even touch with a 3” was a nightmare. And my body isn’t prepared to handle 455 for reps again yet.

So next gear week will jump to x3x3 and down to 2” here out. If it locks at lighter weights it locks.

Comparing this week’s Gear stuff to when I first started not too bad honestly. Yeah it’s ugly but this is my second cycle in gear but it looked better than the first. Jealous of dudes that just hope right back in and nail ****. But those guys are also elite.
